    In my normal setup I use 2 4 track recorders to playback and layer numerous tape loops. For this video, I wanted to experiment and take this idea further by using a large ensemble of walkmans and various length tape loops. This improvised ambient walkman "symphony" is recorded in real time, with all tape loops being mixed and processed through a caline reverb pedal and behringer delay.

    still my favourite piece of ambient music. this is so haunting and melancholy, it makes you feel like you're lost in memories. true masterpiece man.

    I build a few pedals and sell hacked Walkmans. I've been performing darker ambient audio for a few years now. This is one of the best things I've heard for a while. I watch a lot of these vids. Take something fairly simple. Hold your nerve, stay restrained, let it breath. You do it so well.

    Honestly I am now a hundred percent interested in getting into this side of the music world and I never knew this existed but now seeing how complex and interesting it is I am all aboard the train with this one

    There's is something elegantly organic, nostalgic and wholesome about this. It's a ballet. It's an orchestra. It's audibly and aesthetically 'beautiful'. I F'ing love it.

    What are you using as source on "music" loops. On one is guitar, but second pad sound is great. Awesome sound-design, what is it?

    I'm still new to it all. Lol.
    2 yrs in
    But I'm this 2 yrs I made 2600 songs.
    I free flow most sounds. Mostly strings piano etc. But the key here is .. I dont know what I push. I just feel. So it's a hella cool experience in emotion driven fingers seeking sounds they have never heard. ;)
    And this vid gave me a ton of ideas..
    Thank you for this!!!

    Incredible results. I've done similar things with four separate live performers, all summed into one mixer which a conductor (myself, usually) "plays". Anyway, yours is a very creative, powerful technique, and I'd love to see it performed live one day.
